Introduction
we use in any specific situation varying according to the purpose and content of the situation. Different functional styles characterize a certain situation. I.R. Galperin, the well-known Russian linguist, distinguishes the following functional styles:
) The belles-letters style
) Publicist style
) Newspaper style
) Scientific prose style
) The style of official documents.this term paper we deal with the scientific prose style and its sub-style, popular scientific prose style.to the point of view of McMillan, the purpose of science as a branch of human activity is to disclose by research the inner substance of things and phenomena of objective reality and find out the laws regulating them, thus enabling man to predict, control and direct their future development in order to improve the material and social life of mankind [McMillan, 2001: 314].

Linguo-stylistics and literary stylistics complement each other and together they constitute what may be called general stylistics [Lehtsalu, 1973: 13] .are interested in functional styles, specifically, in scientific prose style..R. Galperin describes functional styles of language (FS) as types of texts that are distinguished by the pragmatic aspect of the communication [Galperin, +2014: 9] .aim of the scientific prose style is to describe a phenomenon of science precisely, to reveal all the peculiari...
